Accounting Homework

1. Start Journal Entry with Debit (s) on the first line (s) and credit (s) on the next lines, e.g.,

Cash xxx

Owner’s Capital xxx

2. No need to write ‘Debit’ and ‘Credit’ when doing a journal entry. Simply indent the credits (including the Account Titles) further to the right and that will signify credits and debits to accountants.

3. Use Account Descriptions that are given in the Problem (e.g., if the problem only has 'Expenses' as a descriptor, then don't use 'Rent Expense' even if the company pays rent). Similarly, when you are dealing with transactions in the ‘real world’, only use descriptions in the company’s ‘Chart of Accounts’ when making journal entries.

4. In this problem, there is no depreciation expense on the Equipment although there should be. We will cover depreciation expense in a later chapter.

5. Also, there is no supplies expense although there should be. We will cover that in Chapter 3.

6. When doing financial statements:

a. Do the Income Statement first, followed by the Owner’s Equity Statement, and followed by the Balance Sheet.

i. The reason is that the net income number is needed on the Statement of Owner’s Equity while the ending balance of Owner’s Capital is needed on the Balance Sheet.

b. Notice the headings on the financial statements in the solutions. For example, notice that the first two statements indicate a period of time (i.e., the month of April) while the balance sheet indicates a specific point in time (i.e., April 30, 20XX):

...﻿Homework-“Such a Frustration”
Have you ever wondered why kids come home so stressed and frustrated? Well that’s pretty much what you are going to read about in this essay. Both children and parents SHOULD pay close attention because this will be helpful for you in the future.
For instance from the article “Is Too Much Homework Bad for Kids’ Health” by Sandra Levy, it talks about how students who spend way too much time on homework have more stress and health problems. According to this article the study that was done, more than two hours of homework a night can be counterproductive. Researchers studied 4,317 students from 10 high-performing high schools in higher-middle-class California, according to this study the students there complete a total average of just about 3.1 hors of homework each and every night. According to Pope in this article “The findings address how current homework practices in privileged, high-performing school sustain students’ advantage in competitive climates yet hinder learning, full engagement and well-being”. To most students a lot of homework is pointless homework. For example the researchers found that spending too much time on homework meant that students were not meeting their developmental needs or cultivating other critical life skills. A very important point in this article was that sleep is important...

...less -homework revolution
How fed-up parents are changing the way sehools think—and how you can, too
By Nancy Kallsh Photographs by Brooke Slezak
used to be extremely pro-homework. In fact, I once wrote an article for this very magazine telling readers how to get kids to stop whining and knuckle down to work. Back then, I could afford to be smug; My second-grader was happily zooming through her ten minutes a night. But a few years later, Allison started coming home with four hours of homework each night, and everything changed. Now there was not only whining but also begging, yelling, and crying—sometimes from both of us. The worst part: hearing my previously enthusiastic learner repeatedly swear how much she hated school. I'd always assumed homework was essential. But when I finally looked into the research about it, I was floored to fmd there's little to support homework—especially in vast quantities. While not every child gets too much, many kids are now overloaded as early as kindergarten. I was appalled (I even cowrote a book about it, The Case Against Homework), so you can bet tbat this time around, you won't be getting any "bow to be a good homework cop" tips from me. Instead, I'm here to call you to action. You can change tbings for your child—even for tbe whole scbool. There are more and more frustrated parents and wised-up schools around the country, so why should...

Negative Effects of HomeworkHomework has historically been given to students to reinforce what they learn at school, and ultimately to help them learn the material better. However, too much homework is not helpful, and can be counterproductive. Excessive amounts of time spent on completing homework can take away from a student's social life, family time, and limits participation in sports or other activities. The amount of homework a teacher can give to a student should be restricted, and only assigned due to necessity.
Critically acclaimed author Tamim Ansary reports that since 1981, the amount of homework given to the average sixth grader has increased by more than fifty percent. Many people claim that the increase in homework dates as far back as 1957, when the Russians launched Sputnik into outer space. The new competition that resulted served as incentive for schools to try to increase the difficulty of the curriculum. With harder classes came more homework (Ansary).
Many teachers defend large amounts of homework, claiming that it helps prepare students for a world that is becoming increasingly competitive. However, Dr. Kralovec, author of The End of Homework argues that doing homework during high school has little or no effect on successful study skills of...

...﻿Arguments for homework
Introduction
As you may not be aware of homework is all out of class or at home activities/assignments that teachers give to students. Homework is an extension to schoolwork. It could be practicing skills learnt during the school day, preparing some information for a presentation or studying for tests.
I believe that homework is helpful and necessary in order to make the school day learning efficient. Not to mention that we would be in school very much longer to learn the same things.
1. Take initiative – responsibility
You have to start and do your homework by yourself without the formal setting of school. You are the one that ensures that the work is done not a teacher.
Independence means that homework is planned and done by the pupil without interference from teacher or parents.
2. Develop time management
You have to make sure that time needed for homework is enough and that you still have time for your extra curricular activities and seeing friends and family. This ability to plan what you have to do is a very useful skill through life.
Time management will be especially important in projects that are running through a longer period that pupils often work on both in school and at home. These types of projects are a preparation both for higher studies and real work life.
3. Importance of planning and prioritisation

...Homework is a way of life for many students in public or private schools, from kindergarten to graduation. Often students are overwhelmed with the pressures of school, each night students are required to do homework after completing school each day. Is there a reason or need for students to come home from 7 hours of school and then have hours of homework . Is it essential that students have homework, are they gaining anything by practicing the skills they learned at school. Or are students harmed by the negative effects that homework often comes with. Should homework be restricted or should it continue to be unmonitored and exceed the limits of students in school. Homework’s negative effects far outweigh any of the positive aspects because homework often is busy work that does not seem to improve students learning, an extra unneeded stress which leads students to have little free time.
Since the late 19th century homework has been a subject of debate. Although at the time students were only asked to do small memorization tasks such as memorizing vocabulary and math equations, it was still a topic of debate. By the end of the 19th century the progressive education movement began. In the early 20th century many influential individuals and parents group reached out against homework. With the pressure of opposing views from organizations such as the...

...Aplia On-line Homework Assignments
Description: In order to reinforce the concepts taught during this course, we assign a series of multiple
choice-based homework assignments available via the Aplia on-line system. Each assignment consists of
50 to 70+ questions, which are closely linked to the material covered in each chapter of the textbook
(Aplia is owned by Cengage Learning, the publisher of the textbook we use).
When you purchase the textbook via the link provided to you in myCourses, the Aplia access code comes
bundled with the textbook.
Pay close attention to the assignment schedule below (also provided on the last page of this course
syllabus). There are a total of 10 assignments spread out throughout the module. Some weeks contain
two assignments (during the first half of the course), others only one. You can see that the deadlines fall
on a Sunday night or on a Wednesday night, 11:45PM. This does not mean that you have to wait until the
last minute to complete the assignments! Each assignment takes between one and two hours to complete.
So please plan ahead!
To provide you with some flexibility, I am allowing you 1 “free-pass”. This means that I will drop your
lowest grade out of the 10 assignments to compute your final Aplia grade. This also means that if for
whatever reason you cannot complete an assignment on time (computer problems, illness, family
emergency, simply forgot, etc.), you will have to use your “free pass”. In other...

...Tired For Homework?
Do athletes deserve less homework during their competition season? Athletes are hard workers and the least teachers can do for them is give them less homework during their season as long as they are good students and pay attention in class. It makes sense that some students slack in class, but if there are athletes that pay attention and do their work they deserve less homework so they can focus on their sport after, instead of doing a bunch of homework. Students are at school for six hours a day, then they have homework and athletes don't get that much time a day for their sport. They should be able to practice and play their sport for the same amount of school, so reducing homework would help equal it out. Athletes are too tired juggling school and their sport, they don't get enough sleep, they have hard sporting schedules due to practices and games, and athletes with less homework tend to get better grades. Along with the athletes not having enough sleep, it can cause more injuries, so the more homework athletes get, the higher the chance they could get an injury from staying up too late doing homework.
Athletes have to work hard enough for their sport, less homework should be given during their season. Athletes get too tired after practice or a game, so homework is not completed....
